On May 21, 1420, the kings of France and England concluded a treaty in Troyes Cathedral, establishing the union of their two kingdoms under a single crown. The history of the Treaty of Troyes has profoundly marked the history of France and England, from a political, cultural, and memorial perspective. While the treaty itself and its causes are little or not well known to the general public, its direct consequences (the epic tale of Joan of Arc and the coronation at Reims, and the victory of Charles VII) speak volumes. Produced with the support of a scientific committee of academics, professors, and heritage curators, the exhibition features nearly 180 prestigious pieces (works of art, decorated manuscripts, military and archaeological objects, and archival documents) on loan from national and international institutions (the British Library, the Musée de l'Armée, the Musée du Louvre, and the BNF, among others). Among them: works of art, goldwork, decorated manuscripts, military and archaeological objects, and archival documents.
